Thread: Catfish on soft plastics? Two no less in the same day!

Not uncommon at all, catch two or three every time I'm casting or vertical jigging it seems.

Common here to catch Catfish of all species on artificial baits . i have caught as many or 6 or 7 a trip on a Crappie jig in hot weather . Some good ones too . I catch a little of everything on jigs . (Carp ,Drum , Buffalo, Bass , Catfish (Blues, Channels ,Flatheads ) Gar ,ect)

Learn something new everyday! Thought it was a fluke (yeah I know, it was a catfish.) Bet it would have fried up nice.

Have you ever saw them caught on a night crawler ball!?!?

The best day we've had with cats on jigs was 13 on the Snake River. I think they cruise the shoreline eating crappie spawn.

I have only caught two catfish in my life, and both of them were on jig and soft plastic combos while smallmouth bass fishing.

I catch them frequently when I use crappie nibbles in conjunction with my jigs. Amazon.com: crappie nibbles: Sports & Outdoors

I sometimes want to call them everything nibbles, lol. Bass, Perch and Bluegill love them as well.

Thanks for sharing.

Amazing how many crossover baits exist - baits that catch many fish species. My brother-in-law used to frustrate his brother using weird baits in a tournament and outfish his brother using only standard bass baits (larger crankbaits, spinnerbaits, plastic worms, etc.). Guess fish don't read fishing magazines...
